There is chapter of genuine interest on "Wash- ington in Past Days," in which the personal ities and events of the authors girlhood are described. Family Life at the White House" deals especially with the days of Van Buren and Jackson. Fifty years ago we are told the Presidents house was damp and cold, and the whole expense of lighting and warming came upon the President. During long rains the floors of the kitchens and eel lars were under water. There being no sum- mer residence, they stayed on summer and winter. The old salary of twenty-five thou sand dollars at that time was made to cover every possible expense of the Presidents house. But Souvenirs" are not all associa- ted with Washington and the people the au- thor met there. They deal with life at St. Louis, her western home; with the South; with Panama and California and with her journeys and experiences abroad. The book is thoroughly bright and entertaining and gives a series of accurate glimpses at the past, which are of historical value and inter- est. D.
